This past Thursday, January 13, Her Highness, Princess Likelike entered the thirty-seventh of her birthday, because it was on the 13th of January 1851 that she was born from the royal womb of the seeker of lords, Keohokalole.

Due to the sickness of the Princess these past days, the companions and many friends of the one whose day it was could not go in person to extend their congratulations and their prayers.

The Pae Aina extends its congratulations and prays for the sacred protection of the Heavens with the great hope that her life is extended until she is of very old age.

New Hawaii Island newspaper? 1916.

There are a number of Hawaiians planing a new Hawaiian newspaper for the Island of Hawaii, under the direction of John Kai. This will perhaps be a newspaper that fights against the Board of Supervisors [Papa Lunakiai] and the Chairman [Lunahoomalu]. And there is other word that it will wrestle with the Hoku. That is their business.

[Found under: “HUNAHUNA MEA HOU O HAWAII NEI.”]

MISSING.—The past week, a haole named Kapena (Capt. P. Cummings) went missing in the town of Honolulu. He is a well-known haole from Napoopoo, South Kona, Hawaii; but when he became weak, he came to Honolulu to find a cure for his body here. However during the week stated above, he disappeared from his residence in Honolulu nei. We hear that he wrote his wife and his family that they would not see him again. It is being advertised and he is being searched for, but there has been no sign of him. Perhaps he has wandered off in the mountains or cliffs, but no news has reached us.

Kapena Found.—In the evening of this past Tuesday, the dead body of Kapena (P. Cummings) was found mauka of the hill of Puowaina by a Hawaiian man. This man will probably be paid $100.00, as was advertised.

Kuu Lei Lilia.

Melody—Lordly! Lordly! Swell.

Oi ala kuu Lei Lilia,
O nei ano ahiahi,
He nanahe ke pili ia,
Me ka lau lahilahi.

Oia ala ka’u kaunu,
I ke kai wa malino,
He welo na ka hae kalaunu,
E kohu ai nei kino.

A he wai kapi i ka pali,
Wai kili huna a ka manu,
Na ka iwi polena i hali,
Wai laahia o ka hanu.

E ke anu koni nei,
E ka hau kololio,
Owau ka i punihei,
I ka ia la hokio.

Auhea wale ana oe,
Ke oho maiewa o ka palai,
Ua pulu i ka ua noe,
Ke luhe nei la i ka wai.

He iniki olu ka ia ‘la,
E lokuloku i ka ili,
He meheu no ka io, a mala,
Lehiwa wale hoi ke pili.

Nawai oi ala e piliwi,
He kale na ka ale loa,
He pipi kaulua na kiwi,
He uli na ka heepuloa.

E hoi no au e pili,
Me ka lai o ke kaona,
I wai kilihe i ka ili,
Ka wahine o Kaiona.

20th birthday of Prince Leleiohoku, 1875.

Birthday of the Heir Apparent.

On this coming Sunday, the 10th of January, that is the birthday of Prince W. P. Leleiohoku, and it will be the twentieth year of his life. He was born on the 10th of January, 1855, on the day of the funeral of King Kauikeaouli, and for that reason he was named Kalahoolewa. From what we hear, that day will be celebrated as a holiday [la kulaia]; however, because it falls on the Sabbath, the celebration will be postponed until Monday, that being the 11th of January of this year; and this will be the first time that his birthday will be widely celebrated, as we respectfully give commemoration to the Heir Apparent in place of his Elder Brother Monarch who has left for foreign lands. With feelings of hope, we wish that the holiday will be celebrated all over the nation suitably.
